FIO DO AFETO

Thousands of Brazilian women have contributed to the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic thanks to a solidarity network of mask making and donations. Eight women seamstresses - quilombolas, indigenous, riverside, and peripheral - reveal how they came together to survive, ensure income generation and food security for their families, filling gaps left by the State.
